Diehard GameFAN: No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise Review

DHGF:No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise is the sort of game that will please big fans of the game it’s remade from, and might entertain new players with no exposure to the series, but lacks the significant content additions or mechanical repairs that would be needed to appease anyone else. The game does look and sound very good, and the option of being able to play the game with both the Wiimote and the controller is certainly a welcome one. The controls themselves are simple enough to learn, and there’s a good amount of content to the game based purely on volume, both old and new, that could keep a player interested for a good while if they’re interested in the core product. The story is still a bit of a mess that never decides if it wants to be serious or a parody, however, and the game mechanics retain the same odd flaws and repetitive feel of the original. On top of that, the added content that this remake touts, aside from content that was pulled into the game from No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, is mostly aesthetic in nature, and while there are some minor mechanical improvements, the majority of the game is the same thing it ever was, warts and all, with some prettier visuals.
